Armed Fan Invades YouTube Stars' Home (Meg Turney & Gavin Free)

>YouTube stars Megan Turney and Gavin Free were forced to hide in their closet and call 911 last month after a fan armed with a handgun invaded their home and fired “at least one round inside the house”. He was later found dead in the couple’s driveway.

>The Albuquerque Journal reports that the intruder Christopher Giles—described by police as “single, lonely and disturbed”—drove 11 hours from New Mexico to the couple’s home in Austin after growing infatuated with Turney’s YouTube videos. Turney and Free were woken at 3:40am on January 26 by “the sound of breaking glass and a gunshot”.

>While Giles searched the house for the couple, they hid in their bedroom closet and called 911. Giles, unable to find Turney and Free, returned to his car and attempted to drive off. While still in the driveway, however, Austin Police arrived and “ordered him to stop”.

>A gunshot was then heard from inside the car, with Giles later pronounced dead with “a .45 caliber handgun near his hand”. While an official cause of death has not been announced, a “preliminary postmortem examination by the Travis County Medical Examiner found that Giles may have shot himself.”

Fuck off Gavin.

>Giles, unable to find Turney and Free
Honestly, how do you NOT check the closets? This guy deserved his fate

kek, Albuquerque police doing it old style

>proof life in Albuquerque is so bad, driving 11hrs to be killed by the cops seems like a good idea

Wish he got Meg desu

What was the autist's problem

literally who

This

I bet she'll leave him because her pussy is dried out permanently because he hid in the closet.

...

>driving 11 hours even to just see a YouTube "celeb"
Faggot deserved everything he got.

M'youtubers

>hiding in the closet like pussies

The police carry 9mm glocks though right? Or do you think they really went through the trouble of taking his gun, shooting him with it, and placing it back in the car?

>getting shot like morons

Wow, get a load of the tough guy

what does this have to do with politics you brain-dead Redditor

If only that soy boyfriend had a gun he could have proven his worth.

>he doesn't know how to use a firearm
Fucking Euros.

When did that user mention politics, you double nigger

I bet you anything they love the fact that this guy broke into their house. They're gonna milk this shit for all the youtube bucks they can.

Who?

I'm american, Cletus, and i don't own a gun. I have an actual cock unlike you.

I feel bad for Gav

May?

>Albuquerque police
>not a strong reader
He was from Albuquerque; he died in Austin, Tx.

She'll stay with him for the beta bux. She definitely has at least 4 different black boyfriends right now.

Hey, buddy. I think you replied to the wrong post.

>2018
>not owning a gun

I meant to reply to this guy

Impressive they were quiet enough not be discovered. If be freaking the fuck out if someone broke into my home

>heh why don't you fight me like a MA-
>*dies screaming with a perforated stomach and liver*

Why get into a gunfight when you can hide in the closet?

Haha nice race bait bro!!!

Back to your containment general.

>Oh shit, I got called out.
>I know, better call him Cletus and imply having a gun is compensating for dick size!

>Sup Forums isn't full of e-celeb junk

>tfw by the time today's children are adults, youtube 'stars' will be more famous than movie stars
For fuck's sake, I hate the internet

this

worth at least 1000000000 clicks and $1000000 jewtube dollars

Who are these people?

Police can carry whatever they want as long as it meets certain specifications IIRC

Her Boyfriend is a bitch and hides in the closet.

>living in Texas and not having a pistol or shotgun by your bed

What a cuck. At least now she knows her man can't protect her.

>Texans don't own guns
What fucking idiots seriously.....

GOOD. e-Celebs are cancer. someone PLEEEEEASE go after Casey Neistat and that Mark Wiens.

Jews

>just pick up ur gun and shoot him... so simple
Facebook-tier analysis ITT

>Mark Wiens.

whats wrong with mark wiens? he just eats food

>gavin go do something
I already called the police just stay quiet, he has a gun
>gavin PLEASE I'm scared. Go stop him
Have you lost your fucking mind? No. Now shut up you idiot.

You just KNOW it happened like that. They aren't going to last as a couple.

It's Austin

I think he's one of the Slow Mo Guys. Not sure about her though.

>shooting people is hard

>not having the high ground because you know the layout of your house inside out
>not camping in the corner with 1 finger already on the trigger and with the lights off

have you never played Call of Duty?

Doubt it, permavirgin.

who /drunktank/ here

Based Gavin

Since my state doesn't have retarded self defense laws. that's exactly how this would've gone down if I were in this situation.
It would've been justifiable self-defense.

That's how you accidentally shoot your wife or the cops, idiot

Good luck showing your cock to an armed intruder.

Texas does have those laws. My point is that you're acting like having a gun and knowing how to use it is common knowledge, or even should be common knowledge.

>YouTube stars
Stop right there.

Don't even know who these people are but they came extremely close to death I'd go out and buy a gun immediately after something like that

>he took the super low tier bait

>hiding in a closet
>instead of ambushing him with pocket sand before cutting him down with your authentic nippon katana

a gun
and a dog

...

how do you invade a home specifically looking for the people who live there and not check the closets?

...

This story had the most optimal possible outcome and the fantasy you have in your head of being a hero can at most equal what happened here.

Yes the rational response to being a victim of gun violence is buying your own.

>breaking into a celebrity's house and killing yourself

Sure, OK

>breaking into the home of a youtube "content producer" and killing yourself

I get that to do it in the first place you have to be mentally unstable but there's crazy and then there's just plain irrational

They have a dog. It's a Dachshund

They can, but the department doesn't provide ammo and your range training must be in that caliber. Not that .45acp is expensive, but it's more than 9mm. If they take the 9mm glock (usually a g17 or 19) then the department gives them ammo.

Muh false flag

>>YouTube stars

>I want Gavin Free to die alone, with no children

What did he mean by this?

>Dachshund

well get a real dog and not a soy dog then

a fucking cat would be even more useful than a sausage dog

>having a gun and knowing how to use it is common knowledge, or even should be common knowledge
it should desu. you gain a lot more than you lose

>some off them tits for views
>oh no some guy wants to fuck me
>laugh at them
>he kills himself in your driveway

>implying that wasn't going to happen anyway

A cat would've led the shooter to them

>Living in TX
>Not owning a single firearm in order to protect this
Guy is lucky if he doesn't get cucked

Honestly this. Hide in the closet with a gun instead next time. If the doors open or you hear his footsteps in front of the door blast through it
Not about to risk my life because of some lonely worthless faggot

how is it not rational to want to be able to defend yourself? if the guy wasn't such a retard they could have both died that night. are you the kind of person who thinks owning a gun automatically turns you into a raving lunatic?

Bet it'll turn out Geoff paid the dude to mug Gavin like in GTA for another Shenanigans.

hahahahaha obviously the correct choice would be to call the poleeeze and hope they arrive here before anything happens to you hahahahaha

Austin PD carries Smith and Wesson M&P 40s, made famous by this shot:

You don't need a fucking lethal weapon on the off-chance someone breaks into your home while you're there.
Operative word here is need. Get a gun if you want, but the fact that you people think everyone should have guns because everyone has guns is nuts.

>YouTube "celebs"

if this sperger was stupid enough to not be able to find them in a goddamn closet.. shooting him would have been really easy.

Geoff's a little crazy after the divorce...

Not him but what r u even trying to say here

>lethal weapon

a basebat bat can be lethal too
even a screwdriver can be lethal

what do you want to do, mace the guy?

I have no doubt in my mind that his intention was to kill gavin and rape meg at gunpoint. That must be terrifying.

Are you joking? A baseball bat and screwdrivers aren't designed to kill people. That logic doesn't work at all.

imagine being a roastie and your man has to hide in the closet with you

I wonder if Gavin tried to set up his camera for a slow motion shot of him dying

he couldnt find a prettier girl to stalk?

Most Police officers in the US are issued .40 cal Sigs, Glocks, or S&Ws

This bird

>you people think everyone should have guns because everyone has guns
I don't. i think everyone should have guns (who wants to obviously) because having an armed populace keeps society more stable. gets a lot harder to discreetly cow someone when they have the means to shoot back at your goons. not to mention that being able to protect yourself becomes a lot more important to the average person when society breaks down in any way. there are countless possibilities. better to put the time/money into developing skills you'll never use than die/be oppressed pathetically because there's nothing you can do about it.

it's a philosophical thing not (for the vast majority, in all likelihood) a practical necessity
